Well, here's the thing - no one pays asking price on CL. If you do, well then you're in the minority. When I see a $400 tractor on CL for $1200, I let it sit for a week. If it sells - well, my loss....maybe. If not, I go look at it with trailer in tow and $400 cash in my pocket. More times than not, its in the trailer on the way home.

I got a deal off of CL yesterday and paid asking price. A running Wisconsin S14D engine for $100. The guy held it for me and helped me load it. It turned out that he is over 60 and a fellow Eagle. We had a nice conversation and I'm very happy with the entire transaction. The good deals are few and far between. Good Luck, Rick

When you see something really nice you may spend a good chunk of change for it . But that guy sounds jaded , really wanted it but the buyer didn't budge on the price and now he's crying boo hoo grow up

Some of the best people I have ever met.
